Just wanted to give you a big thank you for all the replies and a briefing on how this ended up. I believe the squeal is more related to the incoming signal than anything else. Afterall, any high gain like this pedal allows gives me the squeal I complained about. It's not specific to this...

I do a lot of 3d Printing but I guess you're right. I play mostly metal, high gain, so it's always a battle against hums and noises. Thanks for the advice. For now I've settled with settings that dont squeal but still put out a lot of power. I was hoping my noise gate pedal would do something...

Is there any clever way to ground the plastic box?

Update on the issue. After rewiring the pedal (pix below) I did some rudimentary tests: I used the normal output of the pedal for everything. Volume knob always at 100%, Deep and Presence at 50%. So, the values I'm refering to next are the Treble, Mid, Bass and Gain, by this order...

It's the only EU based seller I know 🥲 Their service is horrible for sure. The jacks snap and they fit the socket properly. Now, I was looking at the board on the pedal PCB catalog and it looks just like the one I have. Would you mind telling me what's different between the V1 and the V2?

I didn't know there were two versions. Now I'm wondering which version I have

Yes. Do you mind if I ask why?

They came with a kit I bought. I also don't like them, the IC feels like it can jump off of it, and the IC's legs easily go out of contact. Yep, the jacks are screwed. Thanks for catching that. I'll make the change and report back to y'all

I'm just posting this here so you can mock me. I know how to do this and I did it wrong. I should rest. The jack wiring is reversed in all 3. Would this cause the squeal though?

I can't believe my eyes.... The wiring on the jacks is reversed....... I'm sorry y'all. Let me change that and I'll get back to you (tomorrow, I'm in portugal, it's 5 am here, my wife will kill me if she ears another squeal)

1. Enclosure is non-conductive, it's made of PLA plastic. The sounds this thing is making brings the words "bad grounding" all over my head just intuitively. I never had grounding issues with these enclosures in other pedals, but none of those are distortion pedals. I will follow your advice, I...

1. All pots have rubber pads 2. All jacks are wired with ground (black) on the outside pin, and yellow (live) on the inner pin.

Done! Thanks!

Hello, I'm new to the forum. Built a couple of pedals before (a delay, a noise gate and a compressor. No issues there). My knowledge on circuitry is not the best compared to the craziness I read around this forum, so bear with me. I built a Valhalla Distortion and I'm getting the famous...

Here I am in 2024. Just finished building a Valhalla, and sure enough, it squeaks.... ='( I'm new here, made this account to communicate this issue. I read through every possible thread online on this issue. My knowledge on this stuff isn't the best. I checked all the components and everything...
